Join The Jobs for South Asia Coalition!

The "Jobs for South Asia Coalition" - which you probably never heard of - was a Swiftian satire on guest worker programs.

The "Coalition" wanted to bring victims of the 2004 Asian tsunami to the U.S. as guest workers, and it bore more than a whiff of slavery. In bad taste? Well, shortly after I published the idea, a Cato Institute analyst (Will Wilkinson) came out with a serious proposal closely tracking my (satirical) proposal (reason . com/hod/ww011405.shtml). And, that proposal was published in Reason Magazine. And, that was a couple weeks after I'd sent an email to Reason Magazine asking for their assistance with my "proposal".
